Cloverfield TV Commercial #14 - Breathe

Here is the latest Cloverfield TV Commercial, titled "Breathe", bought to you exclusively by DailyMotion. There IS a very tiny, blurry, smoke-filled glimpse of the monster, but I even slowed it down and I really can't make out anything.

After further inspection... I couldn't see much of a silohuette or figure because a military vehicle (probably humvee) with a roof mounted spotlight conveniently obscures the camera's glimpse of our creature friend as it narrowly avoids getting smashed.

I think I saw one those things down in the bayou once... then again, maybe it was the moonshine?

I'm so happy to see new footage instead of the same stuff from the previous 13 trailers. About time. As for the monster, regardless of being able to see it clearly in the clip or not, it gave me chills just seeing what I COULD see. *counts* 8 DAYS!

Just stole the #1 spot in my top Cloverfield commercial list. I just loved everything about it; new footage, the breathing and gasps, the creepy shot of the smoke and monster (though we can't really see it), very well done.

can someone tell me how to see this thing in slow motion....or get the movie file. im a graphic designer and def think that i could edit the video and sharpen it a bit more to see it a little better. and yes....i definitely see tenticles or what could be several arms

I just sat here clicking my cursor over the :09 second mark and let it play from that point repeatedly and very quickly. Try it.

I see some dangly things. I'd call them arms but when you cycle it like I describe you can see they sort of flap or wiggle as if they don't have bones inside. So, tentacles? But there is also a knee or an elbow. Frog legs come to mind. Or "little" arms that are remnants of limbs the species doesn't use any more? Also the bulk of the creature seems to recede, so this would only make sense if perhaps it is retreating backwards between the buildings. The more they show us, the weirder it gets... I love it.

Also, is it me or is anyone else just sick of them re-hashing the "I saw it, it's alive" soundbite in EVERY SINGLE scene they release?

Hmm...apparently the comment I posted didn't work...anyways, I can't believe some people thought that was a tumor XDone doesn't need to look hard to see that it's only Rob's stubbly chin. :pI wish I'd known about this monster glimpse scene earlier, I'm right on posting a gif of it!the flv wasn't that hard to get.

wicked i didn't want to see it at first cause i wanna see it in movies but curiosity got the best of me and wow. can't wait to see what the monster looks like in the movies. my bf promised to take me to see it cause ive pretty much been bugging him about it since it first showed up lol.

Great commercial. I definitely don't know how any of you see a wing or tentacle or anything really, just a big dark silhouette behind a puff of smoke flinching from all the missiles. I have to say it does look really big!

ok guys....ive just spent way too much time on this. but i wanted to help out sharpening the image. im sure someone else will come along with something better, but i took some screen captures while i had it in full screen mode...so the pause button was smaller....then sharpened the images and pieced the screen caps together. it goes forward, then backwards again. thats why its so long, but it helps you see things a little better. you can definitely make out the leg stance and "arms". and im pretty sure in the first frame of the movie, you can see the outline of its head on the top right.

Here's the hi-res gifs, they're like 4-5 megs or something unfortunately, if you want a smaller file size, check my previous links.I can't wait to see them retouched!Personally, I think these gifs could use it, there's a lot of light and artifacts and missile explosions and things jumbled together. >_<I think JJ chose this confusing clip to be in the trailer for a reason.

nice, but i still think people are seeing what they want to see. How can you see anything with all that smoke?!?!?! I dont see tenticals, i dont see red eyes, i dont see a face and please can we get off this 'its not rockets its the monster shooting fire'. Its definatly rockets hitting the monster, but what gets me is it seems unharmed by it. I do see what could be a leg but i dont see any arms/claws/tenticals. There is just to much smoke, bright lights and darkness to see it properly.

has anyone noticed how the "thing" that crashes down on the street doesn't look like it belongs to the more bulky legged monster walking throught the buildings in the other trailers? cuz this looks like a leg but would this "foreleg" if you will be able to support the more bulky hind legs? plus how would a tentacle have that platform thing at the end of it?

The missing letter I's thing could simply be an artifact from shrinking a large video down to a web appropriate size. The I's are there, but where too skinny to be rendered properly so show up really dark. I've seen it before.

Next time I see this particular commercial on TV, I'll have to pay attention and see if the letters are still darkened/missing.

OH MY GOD!!! for once i think you guys are right about the tentacles... i was watching the hi-res gifs and those seriously have to be tentacles... but this sucker is huge!!! or that could be his penis... lol
